Immediate Funds Are Needed in Thailand

For En Hui School

Hi all, my name is Mavis Lai Pui Fun (right), and my teaching partner’s name is Loke Su Han (left). We’re Malaysian. We are volunteers at En Hui School in Thailand. We have been in North Thailand, Chiang Mai, at Arunothai Chinese Village since January 2016, almost 7 years.


Our volunteer work is not only teaching English in En Hui School, but we are also teaching Sunday School in Arunothai Church. On the weekends, we have to take care and concern for the older people and poverty families too.


In En Hui School, we aim to let them know why English is important. Since we encourage students to enjoy reading English, we conduct an English Reading Competition. 


En Hui School had to lock down four times last year, so we had to delay the English Reading Competition. Since students are back in school this year, we hope that Blessing Hands can encourage students who love to join the English Reading Competition by giving funds for awards.


The total sum needed for awards is 4,500 THB = $127.31

Motorcycle Funds Needed

We are facing another financial problem. We hope we can raise motorcycle funds for our volunteer work. We want to help some poor families by picking up their children, so students and school teachers can go to En Hui School and Arunothai Church easier. They are too far away to attend our extra lessons or join any activities.


We just have 1 motorcycle to take turns picking up the Sunday School teachers, and children. It is very difficult to catch the exact time. Sometimes, the activities have to use 3 – 4 hours to finish because of problems with transportation. We have play practice and other fun activities that some people have to miss since they have no transportation.

We hope Blessing Hands can help us to raise money for two more Motorcycles.


A petrol motorcycle we want is shown in the picture below. It has three wheels and is used here by many people. It would be easy to maintain. Road tax has to be paid every 3 months and the petrol bill. This gasoline model can carry 3 people and be faster, saving time. One is $927 (32,900 Baht), but if we bought two, it would cost $1,854 (65,800 Baht).


Thank you for listening to our sharing.
